Cliché

scanning tonight
years of my poetry
my fear realized, normal
and I am;
utterly cliché.
alas,
its the chardonnay
or I’ve tricked
myself, again,
into believing
I, extraordinary.
in awe
watching the glass
fill itself,
as I fall, once again,
for Pablo Neruda,
and settle in,
knowing he understands.

You have the best sense of humor, Sir Richard.
*curtseys* A) I think he knows what he wants and I find that perfect. B) Thank you so much…I hope it’s readable. And pay no mind to the photo sizes I don’t know how to size them!!! (After 4 years you’d think I’d have time to figure it out.) C) I’m thankful you do. I may or may not have been drunk when I wrote it.
I was. 😉

I don’t think your poems are cliched. I’ve felt an honesty in them, and that’s far from rehashing some tired stuff. It’s dangerous to compare yourself to published writers who stand on pedestals (although I’m guilty of doing this). Healthier to sip the Chardonnay and meditate on if you are improving as a writer, and striving to tell a good poem (or story).

August MacGregor! You’ve been a loyal reader for a long time. I am always thrilled to see you in my comments section. Your wisdom, offered generously and with honesty, is always welcome. I’m in good company with you around. Yes, thank you for the soft nudge not to go too far when criticizing my ability.

I appreciate your honesty, Teagan. My poetry isn’t always a first choice, as I often do not follow some of the most important rules, but I feel it reaches myself and those who happen by it. Thank you for the encouragement. Hugs to you! 🤓

Audrey Dawn- The Oldest Daughter & Red Headed Sister

I came here to journal. To release what I cannot say with my spoken voice, as I am quite shy when the subject turns to me. I write poetry, because my soul flourishes when I do. Broken, indeed, but willing to try. I live life one day at a time. Stop by and say hello, please, if you don't we may never meet. I need you to be stronger than me, but only the first time. Hi, I'm Audrey.

Poetess Audrey Dawn

So true…

“Fate never promises to tell you everything up front. You aren't always shown the path in life you're supposed to take. But if there was one thing she'd learned in the past few weeks, it was that sometimes, when you're really lucky, you meet someone with a map.”
― Sarah Addison Allen
